Twelfth National Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (AAAI–94)
Seattle, Washington
CALL
FOR
TUTORIAL PROGRAM PROPOSALS
The AAAI-94 Program Committee invites proposals for the
Tutorial Program of the American Association for Artificial
Intelligence Twelfth National Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (AAAI-94). The theme of the 1994 Tutorial
Program is “”Real World Applications of Theoretically
Well-Founded AI Concepts and Methods.” Tutorials will be
held July 31-August 1, 1994 in Seattle, Washington.
Anyone who is interested in presenting a tutorial at AAAI94 should submit a proposal to the 1994 Tutorial Cochair,
Devika Subramanian. She and tutorial cochair Phil Klahr
(Inference Corporation), will review all proposals.
Topics
Previous tutorial topics have included: AI in business,
finance, and accounting, AI in customer service and support, including help desks, AI in tutoring and education, AI
techniques in human computer interface design, applications of fuzzy logic, behaviour-based robotics/mobile
robots, building integrated knowledge-based systems in the
real world, case-based reasoning, computational challenges
from molecular biology, constraint-based reasoning, distributed artificial intelligence tools, genetic algorithms and
genetics-based engineering, intelligent technologies in
transportation, knowledge acquisition techniques, knowledge-based scheduling, knowledge sharing and reuse,
model-based diagnosis, machine learning, managing uncertainty, multistrategy learning, neural nets for real world
problems, qualitative reasoning for design & diagnosis
applications, symbolic and neural network approaches to
machine learning, verification and validation
AAAI is interested in proposals covering new or existing
topics from either beginning or more advanced areas. We
especially encourage proposals on topics that apply artificial intelligence methods and techniques to problems in
other scientific and engineering disciplines, such as molecular biology, material science, experimental physics, operations research, mechanical engineering, and so forth.
Submission Requirements
We need two kinds of information in proposals: information that will be used for selecting proposals and information that will appear in the tutorial description brochure.
Each proposal should contain the following:
Goal of the tutorial: Detailed outline, possibly augmented
with sample materials.
Tutorial description: a short paragraph summarizing the
tutorial outline.
Prerequisite knowledge: what knowledge is assumed.
Please also submit the following information about the
presenters: name, mailing address, phone number, email
address; background in the tutorial area, including a list of
publications and/or presentations; any available examples
of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article
or presentation materials on the subject); evidence of
teaching experience (courses taught or references); and evidence of scholarship in AI or computer science.
Each tutorial should be offered by a team of presenters.
Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that
tutorials are intended to provide an overview of a field or
practical training in an area; they should present reasonably well agreed upon information in a balanced way.
Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of
research, nor should they promote a product.
Submission Deadline
Proposals must be received by November 1, 1993.
Decisions about the tutorial program will be made by
November 15, 1993. Speakers should be prepared to submit
completed course materials by March 31, 1994.
Proposals should be sent to:
